Hound knight.
Drawing of a white dog with scars who speaks with a kamoji flourish. He says he is the Hound Knight, and likes to help busy people find their way.The Hound Knight walks with adventurers, saying he is good at dungeons.The Hound Knight holds a stick in his mouth, and turns to see a knight resting both hands on the hilt of their sword. The Hound Knight says his companions have many swords, spells and worries.The Hound Knight is being pet by an adventuring party, as he narrates that if he can get his companions to put down their weapons to giving him pets, then he did his job.

They can exert a massive amount of nap power, and it's multiplied by physical contact.

Being a sentient person in 2026 means arguing in public for issues you never thought you would have to articulate out loud: "Read to your children yourself instead of outsourcing it to a robot!" "Don't televise executions!" Things like that.

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

And so forth. But if you start treating "what the donors say they want" as marching orders or letting it limit your imagination, your institution already has no future.

This comes up in SO many contexts (Church/Jesuit stuff too), that "oh we can't do X because donors will be upset!" a) it's usually a bluff b) what new donors might you *attract* with a change? c) how much is your soul actually worth? seriously: what dollar amount would let you tolerate immorality?

Ed Sheeran claiming to be 'culturally Irish' gives the vibe that he thought being Irish was pints o' Guinness and shamrocks rather than implacable multi-generational communitarian struggle against imperialism.

wild, because me and mine did not have this shared experience. the fact that you don’t recognize the intense racism that proliferated post-9/11 tells me you can’t see the current political situation clearly, either.

Absolutely none of us would want our jewelry faster if it was at the expense of any of your health or wellbeing. It'll be a fun surprise when it comes, and in the meantime I hope for lots of space to heal and grieve together.

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

Coffee counts as water! It's still hydrating you, you just have to not caffeinate so much that you dehydrate by vibrating out of your skin.

This is a very entertaining book! "If it had been a human, he might have stabbed first and asked questions later. But stabbing a badger - any badger - is a superbly bad idea. Stabbing one that size was basically suicide with extra steps."

#MinCup26 Round 1 Match 1: It's carbonate-vs-carbonate with copper-rich #Azurite against zinc-rich #Smithsonite. Which has your vote? VOTE: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re... RESULTS: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re...
Split photo of bright blue azurite and peach-colored smithsonite crystals.

The azurite forms clusters of round nodules with a matte, almost velvety-looking texture.

The smithsonite crystals are mostly discs with parallelogram faces. There are some black and gold-colores minerals mixed in.

We pretend that academia is this incredibly unique sort of workplace but at the end of the day it's a job, your boss is your boss, and they're responsible for their actions and the consequences of them. "Don't do anything to your staff that means the union need to get involved" should be universal.

And if you as a professor don't have the ability to distinguish between mentor-mentee and master-servant, that is a distinctly YOU problem and all the more reason to have a union.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.
